Celtic Fairy Tales, The Shee an Gannon and the Gruagach Gaire, sentence 65

But the cowboy made after the hare, and the Gruagach after the cowboy, and they ran as fast as ever their legs could carry them till nightfall; and when the hare was entering the castle where the twelve sons of the Gruagach were killed, the cowboy caught him by the two hind legs and dashed out his brains against the wall; and the skull of the hare was knocked into the chief room of the castle, and fell at the feet of the master of the place.

Who acts: cowboy, legs, hare · What happens: make, run, carry, enter, kill, catch · To what, where: cowboy, bundles, castle, twelve sons, hare, brains
